AboutAbout the lab
Minimizing damage to lifelines
The lab studies disaster prevention and mitigation for lifelines such as water, electricity, and gas.
Even when a large-scale disaster such as a Nankai Trough earthquake or a typhoon like the Ise Bay Typhoon strikes, the lab emphasizes keeping lifeline damage to a minimum, maintaining their functions, and achieving early recovery.
The lab is a division within the Disaster Mitigation Research Center at Nagoya University.
Key terms
- Lifelines
- Essential infrastructure that supports society, such as water, electricity, and gas
- Vulnerability
- Weakness against disasters. Vulnerability assessment examines where and how weak a system is
- BCP (business continuity plan)
- A plan for continuing operations even during a disaster and restoring them quickly
ResearchResearch themes
The lab analyzes recent natural-disaster cases using the latest academic knowledge, and studies lifeline disaster prevention and mitigation to help reduce the impact of the large-scale disasters that are approaching. Its individual research themes are vulnerability assessment of lifeline systems against large-scale disasters, design of effective BCP (business continuity plan) measures for lifeline businesses, and prediction of damage from various disasters in low-lying areas together with the examination and evaluation of countermeasures.
